Watch Your Words The Rowman & Littlefield Language-skills Handbook for Journalists

Journalists trade in words. Using language accurately, clearly and consistently is part of their job and this skill is equally important for writers and editors. The second edition of Watch Your Words now updated according to changes in AP style is a handbook for quick and accessible classroom and newsroom use. Consistent with The Associated Press Stylebook, it establishes a baseline for language-skills knowledge in the areas of punctuation, grammar and usage, as well as AP style. It also includes a new section of supplementary self-tests. Mastery of the material in Watch Your Words can equip the student or professional with the basic tools for producing clean copy.Dunsky, Marda is the author of 'Watch Your Words The Rowman & Littlefield Language-skills Handbook for Journalists', published 2006 under ISBN 9780742553910 and ISBN 0742553914.
